Listeria monocytogenes has, in 25 y, become a model in infection biology. Through the
analysis of both its saprophytic life and infectious process, new concepts in microbiology …

The interaction of bacterial pathogens with mammalian hosts leads to a variety of
physiological responses of the interacting partners aimed at an adaptation to the new …

Protein phosphorylation on tyrosine has emerged as a key device in the control of numerous
cellular functions in bacteria. In this article, we review the structure and function of bacterial …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infects human alveolar macrophages and relies on the
inhibition of phagosome acidification and maturation. This is, in part, dependent on the …

The kinetoplastid protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania are the causative
agents of different clinical forms of leishmaniasis, a vector-borne infectious disease with …

The role of protein phosphatases in pathogenic bacteria has been studied extensively over
the last two decades. Ser/Thr and Tyr phosphatases are associated with growth and …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein-tyrosine-phosphatase B (MptpB) is a secreted virulence
factor that subverts antimicrobial activity in the host. We report here the structure-based …

Disease is increasingly viewed as a major factor impacting the health of both natural and
cultured populations of marine organisms, including macroalgae. The red macroalga …

Phosphorylation is the most common and widely studied post‐translational protein
modification in bacteria. It plays an important role in all kinds of cellular processes and …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial to balance protective immunity and autoimmune
inflammatory processes. Expression of CD83 is a well-established marker for mature DCs …
